A Scene from the movie No Tell Motel

Plot:

At the beginning of No Tell Motel  we see a small clip, where a little girl gets killed on the highway by a speeding vehicle. Her parents rush to her, who were just a few feet away from her, in front of a motel.

Five friends (two couples and another girl, where the two boys are brothers) are heading to a cottage in their RV to spend a vacation. They stop at a store to buy supplies, where one of the girls secretly buys pregnancy test kit. A boy is seen severely addicted to some special drugs. They again start from the store. The boy who was driving the RV is speeding ignoring all other’s warnings and finally has an accident.

Now, in the highway at the middle of the night, they are at a loss. But soon they find an abandoned motel nearby (the same motel which we saw in the clip at the beginning of the movie) and they all goes there to spend the night. The addicted boy gets busy with his tablets, a couple starts to make out and another girl, with her pregnancy test, finds out that she is pregnant. She shares it with another girl of the group and also says that she doesn’t understand how this has happened, because she always uses protection with her boyfriend. The other girl also shares some of her secrets with her.

A girl from that group sees a little girl (who died at the beginning of the movie) and while following her, she gets killed by a speeding truck. The others finds her dead body holding a little girl’s shoe and a scar on her face, which she saw on the little girl. They also find the injured and unconscious driver of the truck which caused that accident and carries him to the motel.

While a girl from the group was roaming around the motel, the wooden floor breaks and she falls in a room in the basement. She finds someone else’s presence in the room and a wooden horse moves itself towards her, so she hides in the next room. The addicted boy finds her from the ground floor, and while looking for something to save her, he finds some more drugs. By taking those drugs, he loses his mind. Meanwhile, the girl in the basement has some sort of vision from the past where she sees a lady in the bathtub, cutting her own wrists.

In another room, the dead girl’s boyfriend start to hit on the addicted guy’s boyfriend, but the addicted guy comes there and the two boys head for the basement to save the girl. But meanwhile, she has seen the little girl again and while trying to escape from there, she dies. The two boys go to the basement where one of them gets mysteriously locked in a room. There the again see some vision where a lady is tied to a table.

In the meantime, the driver of the truck that killed the first girl wakes up and then he tells the last girl about this motel. He says, after their little girl got killed on the accident, her parents got insane and the mother tried to commit suicide. The father saved her and kept her inside the basement tied to a table, where he used to feed her.

In the basement, the door of the room opens on its own and the man there sees another vision of the father of the dead little girl raping his wife. He then comes upstairs and taking the girl, goes to basement again and find another girl’s dead body. In the meantime, the addicted boy has come upstairs and traps himself inside a bathroom and keeps on taking drugs. He sees the little girl sitting in the bathtub, staring at him. When the two from the basement comes upstairs, they find his dead body. Then the man tells the girl that one time he drugged and then raped her. Hearing this, she leaves the room and starts to make contact with the ghost of the little girl to know her intentions.  

Following the little girl, she finds the horrific facts which happened in this motel long ago. She also learns the true identity of the truck driver and then she, along with her friend, fights to come out of this motel alive.

My review about No Tell Motel:

First of all, I didn’t like No Tell Motel at all.

The plot of this movie is not bad, but its too common to interest anyone. We have seen a lot of horror movies like No Tell Motel. The ending is also predictable.

The regular things in No Tell Motel didn’t seem realistic at all. For example, a group of friends were on a trip, but when the accidents happened, none of them seem to have any deep emotion for the death of their friends. One of them even started to hit on his brother’s girlfriend just minutes after his girlfriend died in No Tell Motel. In an abandoned hotel in the middle of nowhere, no one had someone to watch his/her back.

The acting of all the characters in No Tell Motel are a little below average, nothing impressive. Same goes for the dialogues.

The direction and the screenplay were really poor. None of the characters looked realistic. The character development also in No Tell Motel seemed very poor. None of the characters seemed to look at the real problem throughout the whole movie, even after their friend’s death. The scenes from the past didn’t look scary or pleasant at all. The whole movie No Tell Motel has failed to give a scare to me in any way.

The use of special effects in No Tell Motel was very limited. But they seemed okay.

There were no nude scenes or gore scenes in this movie, so you can watch it with kids.

So, finally, I didn’t find No Tell Motel worth watching. After watching it, I felt I’ve wasted a good amount of time. If you are looking for horror movies, there are a lot other better alternatives and you can view the other posts of my blog to get some names. I will not recommend No Tell Motel to anyone.
